Blue Milkweed Beetle Parheminodes pulcher standing on a stem.

This butterfly is widely distributed throughout southern areas wherever there are oak trees; even a solitary tree may support a colony. It is frequently overlooked as adults remain largely in the canopy where the main adult food source is honeydew; they fly more commonly in the evening of a warm summer's day. They are only driven down to seek fluid and nectar during prolonged drought.

$Tot 35-44mm, Ab 20-30mm, Hw 24-30mm.\nOne of the larger Sympetrum species. In the field, males may be noticed because they seldom become as deeply red as other species and have a rather parallel-sided abdomen.\nHabitat: Wide range of places, especially preferring warm, stagnant waters. These are often shallow and bare, this species being a pioneer of newly created ponds. Occasionally in flowing or brackish water.\nFlight Season: May be seen all year in the Mediterranean. In Northern Europe, appears from early June, becoming abundant in July and flying into November. One of the last dragonflies to be encountered in autumn.\nDistribution: Common in most of our area, becoming less common relative to S. vulgatum in a north-easterly direction. Extends to Japan. Migrations are often seen and are sometimes massive.\n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands.$
